Brad Pitt: I Have An Unusual Family
Brad Pitt joins CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday to chat about his family, his latest movie, and his continued efforts to help rebuild New Orleans, Louisiana.
On how his kids keep him young (or not): I have so many. No, man, it wears you out. Are you kidding? I’m aging fast.
On why his family draws such attention: It’s quite complimentary. But, you know–and I think it is an interesting family. It’s not your usual family… I’m quite interested in my family, actually, so, I don’t–I certainly don’t see it as anything less than a compliment.
On having more children: I don’t know. I can’t find a reason why not–just yet.
On President-elect Barack Obama: Oh, man. I think, overnight, we redefined what America’s about. I couldn’t be any happier and more hopeful for the–for America, for the upcoming–in the upcoming years.
On the new moustache: (Joking) It’s political, Larry. It’s political. I’m making a stand for men with moustaches. I don’t think they get treated fairly… I’m currently in Berlin [Germany] now, filming a Quentin Tarantino film. And I am a man with a moustache.

Great picture.
Thanks for the new thread Jared.

oops my bad. Thanks for the information. Please disregard.
You know, life is too short to waste on such a non-entity as Maniston, I really do believe her stupidity, contradictory bullsh*t, hypocrisy, and vindictiveness are now evident to all due to her last couple of ‘pieces,’ pimping her dog movie — the best is that she’s so brain-dead, she’s now pimping Brad’s movie FOR him, and he hasn’t said jacksh*t about her!! ROFLMAO!! Too TOO hilarious. WE JP fans have it good with the sheer entertainment value and scahdenfreude(sp) homely b*tchiston gets.
Next time, however I think I will answer like this –

It is nice to see Changeling getting some recolonization. It is a very well made film with straight forward direction and Angelina Jolie gave an amazing performance. With some of the blogger smears and attempt to derail the film, Changeling is a movie that is proving above the fray. I am looking forward to seeing Benjamin Button also.

Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” from Fox Searchlight was named the best picture of 2008 by the National Board of Review, while David Fincher nabbed directing honors for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”
CLINIQUA…..
You are some piece of work…LOL!

It is nice to see Changeling getting some recognition. It is funny how some bloggers tried to smear the movie and kill the buzz, but Changeling rises above the fray. It is a very good movie and AJ gave a great performance. I also enjoyed Burn After Reading and looking forward to the Benjamin Button Movie.

Arcade Fire Lend “Body” to Benjamin Button TV Spot
Big is a movie about a kid who gets his wish to be a grown-up, Jack is a movie about a kid who looks like a grown-up, Youth Without Youth is a movie about a grown-up who grows younger, and, well, the forthcoming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button appears to roll aspects of all these films into one.
Starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, Panic Room), Button looks to be quite the drama-rama– which may explain why some savvy marketing person decided to soundtrack a TV spot for the film with a portion of the Arcade Fire’s grandiose, organ-saturated Neon Bible closer “My Body Is a Cage” [via The Playlist].

Brad didn’t even work while he was a walking dead man married to maniston - so why are you making him this ambitious salivating career man NOW…any idiot can see that Brad is encouraged to do what he does NOW *BY & BECAUSE* of Angelina, fool.
- Um:
Fight Club
Snatch
Oceans 11
Ring any bells??? I guess only idiots remember, huh?

One of the unfortunate casualties of the bad economy was the film industry, with less people willing to shell out their dwindling cash reserve to go to the cinema.
There were, though, a few movies that were well worth the financial sacrifice of buying a ticket in 2008.
Five of the most notable were:
Changeling
Directed by Clint Eastwood
, Changeling was, I believe, misjudged by some critics who deemed it, unfairly, as not being up to Eastwood’s usual standards. The film is based upon a real life story that occurred in 1928. Angelina Jolie proves, in her performance, that she is more than just Brad Pitt’s significant other, but is a compelling artist in her own right. Jolie plays Christina Collins, a devoted mother whose 9-year-old son disappears. A boy is returned to her, but she informs the LAPD, that he is, in fact, not her child. The ensuing cover-up causes her to be wrongly persecuted for her insistence upon disclosing the truth, as the corrupt LAPD attempts to discredit her. Others in the cast include John Malkovich, Michael Kelly and Colin Feore, but it is Jolie, as the determined mother, who pulls at our emotions and makes Changeling worth seeing.

I think I read somewhere, BP did not work for 2 years while married to Whiny. He was working on the Beverley Hills Mansion and the nursery.
However, since both of those did not pan out, he moved on with his life and has the children he always wanted. Life has a way of working things out.

Okay. This post went in moderation. However, I meant it is great that Changeling is getting recognition. Too funny.

Blanchett talked Brad Pitt into new film
5th December 2008
Oscar winner Cate Blanchett says she had to help talk Brad Pitt into joining the cast of their soon-to-be-released film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
The movie, which is loosely based on a story by F Scott Fitzgerald, tells the tale of a baby called Benjamin who is born as an old man.
Pitt stars as Benjamin and lives his life becoming younger and younger, while Blanchett co-stars as his ageing girlfriend, Daisy.
The Australian actress says Pitt was initially unsure whether to do the film.
“I don’t blame him,” she told the latest issue of British Vogue.
“I think he was just thinking, six hours, every day, in make-up.
“It’s quite wearisome.
“But we kept saying, `Do it. It’s a really good idea - it’s not The Grinch!”
During the film, Daisy and Benjamin drift apart because of their different ageing processes.
“Really, it’s star-crossed lovers; they can’t always be with each other,” Blanchett said.
“There’s so much yearning - and yearning is the life-blood of film.”
The film, which has already generated plenty of Oscar buzz, is due to open in the United States on Christmas Day.

Well I read all that at imdb and bradpittfan. com.
Please find the article you read, please post it.
Playtex @ 12/04/2008 at 5:25 pm
Fight Club was when they were dating and I think Whiny took on 6 movies after Friends ended. They both had different goals in life and their marriage suffered. However, they have both moved on and Life is good. Peace
Poor Jen has really boxed herself in. She is too busy explaining the Vogue interview and not much on the Dog movie. However, BP and AJ have done a great job in promoting their movies and continuing their humanitarian projects. The more Whiny talks, the more she backtracks. Too funny.
When I read Cliniqua’s comments I can almost hear her maniacal laghter ringing in my ears. She is funny. Not in the “you are cool” kind of way, but in the “girl, easy with the mushrooms” kind of way.
interesting maniston can’t stop talking about brad and ang, and since this summer starting with venice and up to today, brad has not mentioned jennypoo’s name or even been asked a question about her,lol, the shame.

Another interview with Taraji with exclusive clips from Benjamin Button
How was working with Brad Pitt?
TPH: He’s incredible. Brad is an amazing talent. He hit this one out of the ballpark because he was subtle to all these amazing characters that he encountered. They all made a dent in Benjamin Button’s life.
What did you learn from working with David Fincher on this film?
TPH: In working with David Fincher, I just learned patience. David likes to do a lot of takes, which now I’m a huge fan of. Because of that, I expect a lot of takes now on films knowing the director wants to get the scene right. When it comes to the craft, I can be a bit obsessive. I can go away from the scene and I would still obsess over it. When you get a chance to do as many takes as we did on ‘Benjamin Button’, you can still walk away feeling secure, and yet, I would still find a way to obsess.
Is there any particular scene that stood out for you?
TPH: The most endearing thing for me was a scene where the older looking Benjamin gets scolded for playing with a young Daisy. Daisy’s grandmother comes to scold him because he looks like a pervert. People don’t quite understand his disease. All she knows is that there is this old man playing under the table playing with my granddaughter. She scolds him and they go upstairs and Queenie holds him and breaks it down to him and lets him knows that people aren’t going to know how to treat him and respond to him because of his appearance. I’m a single mother raising an African American son and that’s a conversation that I have had quite often with him about how some people will judge him based on the color of his skin.
Have you been paying any attention to the Oscar buzz you’re receiving for this performance?
TPH: I leave that up to the stars. I’m honored to have my name in that position, but I’m just taking it one day at a time and leaving that up to God.

Pitt’s homes open doors to families
Families are moving into the first six houses built through Brad Pitt’s Make It Right foundation in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
One home was already strewn with green garland, lights, wreaths and red bows but the Hollywood actor admits there is much more to do.
Pitt said: “I’m really happy for the families that are going to be here, but I can’t help but think about the families that aren’t.
“It’s a push-pull for me. The excitement is that it’s being proven that it’s working. The frustration is that we have a long way to go.”
Make It Right was launched by Pitt a year ago. The programme calls for construction of 150 energy-efficient homes in a section of New Orleans washed away when Katrina broke levees on August 29, 2005.
So far, six homes have been built. Two more are under way, and construction on another 14 begins in early 2009.
Pitt said that by December 2009, the Lower ninth Ward should be one of America’s largest “green” neighbourhoods.
Inez Converse, 71, isn’t concerned about her area setting any records. She’s just happy to be back in the neighbourhood she lived in for more than 35 years before Katrina. And she said she was glad she had the chance to thank Pitt personally.
Pitt descibed his new film, The Curious case of Benjamin Button, as “a love letter to New Orleans”. “There’s a sense of magic here, so it made this fantastic story almost believable,” he said.
Pitt said his fondness for the city led him and partner Angelina Jolie to buy an early-1830s masonry mansion in the French Quarter.
